King Geedorah is one of MF DOOM’s many alter egos. On this record, he assumes the persona of the space dragon from the Godzilla films - which, embarrassingly enough, I haven’t seen... brb, I'm gonna add them to my Letterboxd watchlist.
The defining moment of “Take Me to Your Leader” comes at the very end. “The Fine Print,” one of the two full length songs that only feature Doom, shows him at his absolute best. His production is clunky, awkward, but ultimately majestic. The jerky, staggering beat is punctuated by a thick trumpet, and assorted unearthly sounds (including a beatboxer) complement the track perfectly. MF sounds completely at home over the unusually spastic backdrop, and gives a lyrical performance on par with anything he’s ever done.
